Windows 10: Windows 10 refuses to sleep

Hi! I felt like I should re-open that thread here. I got an issue (on the pic attached). Anyone knows how to kill that beast?

:)

 

Shut down and restart

My windows 10 laptop refuses to shut down and refuses to restart. It only sleeps when I click on sleep button from the start menu and when I fold it. I haven’t tried to push the power button as I know that is not good.

I have absolutely no idea, but nice thread name *Smile

Also lemme chime in dat my Win10 has had 0 problems sleeping. No insomnia here.

 

Not this again... I'd hoped that they have fixed that.

 

It's related to Maintenance / updates. Windows send a request, but then it just stay there, and I need to reboot to remove it.

 

At least now, Windows shows something in powercfg -requests. I just need someone who will be able to teach me how to kill that. lol

 

Is this a new Win10 thing? Granted I usually set Windows Update to manual and disabled maintenance, but that shit disables sleep mode *Redface?

 

It's a technical preview so you cannot deactivate maintenance and update. I may have a solution (I'm trying right now): force maintenance manually.

 

I noticed.


How do I disable them! Gimme yo hax!

 

Edit: after forcing maintenance twice, that dawn svchost is still sending request to prevent my PC from sleep. I guess it can't be helped for now, unless a super duper amazing guy shows up and tell us how to get around it. XD

 

Looking forward to it. I hate auto updates/maintenance interfering when I'm doing something.

 

No insomnia here either, I wish I could say that for myself, I haven`t slept in years *Sleepy

 

years ?

 

Screw that! I've created a scheduled task for rebooting my PC each day. For now it will do, until someone has a better way.
